Practical information

2018 Oktoberfest in Munich will open its gates on September 22 in the Schottenhamel tent and it will last until October 7.

Enjoy every day from around 10 until midnight with beer and an amazing atmosphere.

Like always, there is no fee to enter the festival or the beer-tents.

But, because of the popularity of the festival, you may want to make a reservation in advance.

If not, you can still come to Oktoberfest and your favourite tent, but come early, as tents are usually full in a matter of seconds.

Children under the age of 6 must leave the area at 8pm at the latest.

If you are a smoker, be aware that smoking is NOT allowed in the tents.

Oktoberfest is placed near Munich city centre and it’s very close to “Hauptbahnhof” – city’s central railway station.

Beer

This Oktoberfest info would not be completed without a few words about the beer!

The popularity of the festival comes, of course, due to the quality of beer served there.

The beer you get is really brewed on the ground around city of Munich and be cautious – it’s a bit stronger than regular light beer that you can try in the city.

Food

Traditional offer includes half of a chicken (a kind of traditional Bavarian snack), roast pork served with dumplings, and the same thing that comes with the oxen.

Clothes, what to wear?

You can, of course, wear whatever you want when you are coming to the festival.

If you want to feel and look authentically, and truly Bavarian, you can always buy traditional Bavarian clothes on the spot.

The different Tents

If you’re coming at the Oktoberfest in Munich for the first time it can be good to have a note about the most famous and biggest tents among the over dozen ones at the festival.

Bräurosl – an amazing atmosphere and traditional Bavarian songs during the Wiesn, well, it’s the tradition that Oktoberfest has to offer. The name of this tent comes from the Pschorr brewery owner’s daughter.

Hacker – if you are not such a fan of traditional music, this tent is a perfect choice for you. Every evening, Hacker (also known by the name – Bavarian Heaven) will host rock ‘n’ roll band, starting at 5.30 pm.

And there is a variety of different tents to choose from depending on what your interests are …

For fish on stick lovers, there’s Fischer Vroni and Hofbräu Festhalle for people from around the world where Australians and American usually come to feel the magic of Oktoberfest..
and many more.

The “Marstall” tent, will be open for around 3500 people with additional room for another 1000 guests.

Little history

Let us dig a little bit into the history of the event:

On October 12 1810, Ludwig, the Bavarian Prince married Princess Therese and the celebration lasted for five days.

And it was five days of fun, now marked as the initial birth date of the festival. At the beginning, Oktoberfest wasn’t big and famous as we know it today.

On the contrary, it was an event of just a few beer stands, with the first beer tents experience that came in 1896.
